 Former San Diego State men's golfer Scott Piercy tees off on the seventh hole of the South course. Piercy, who held the first-round lead after an 8-under-par 64 on the North course, finished in a tie for 20th at 7-under.  After losing his first tee shot in a tree on the par-4 seventh, San Diegan Phil Mickelson was forced to hit another tee shot on the hole as others (including Murrieta native Rickie Fowler) had to wait their turn.  Before Fowler teed off on the seventh hole, he re-fueled with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich — a diet staple of children and, apparently, up-and-coming professional golfers.  Ryuji Imada, who held the lead after 54 holes, struggled with his driving all week. He hit the fairway only 50 percent of the time and slid down into a tie for ninth with a 3-over 75 Sunday.  Murrieta resident Tom Pernice Jr. hits from the rough on the par-5 13th hole — if you've ever wondered how thick the rough is on the South course, you need only look at his left foot, which is completely hidden. Pernice, a 50-year-old who gained entry into the Farmers via a sponsor's exemption, was in contention after 36 holes but faltered over the weekend and finished tied for 48th.  Like Pernice, Torrance native Chris Tidland also struggled on the weekend after engineering a solid opening half in the tournament. The 2009 Nationwide Tour graduate opened with rounds of 65-71 but closed with 75-76.
